QKD'S Monochromatic Coolness!!

But first...if you've come here from the WIS blog then you are on the right track!! If not please start HERE so that you don't miss anything!!Today's assignment was to work with neutrals and monochromatic tones. I chose Green as my color for and brown as my neutral. I'm using the QKD peapod stamp (a fabulous older stamp) that I stamped in Momento Black ink and colored with my Copics.

I then trimmed it out and set it aside.

I then chose my background leaf paper (Martha Stewart) and layered it with a piece of green cardstock. I corner rounded the base and subsequent layers. I used a strip of scrap green distressed paper for the middle. I adhered it all down and stitched around the edges.I then added a die cut tag, complete with green brad and a rub on that says "new arrival". I used this fluffy green fibery ribbon to accent the center as well.I then adhered my peapod and heart on using 3-D foam adhesive. I LOVE how this came out and I have the perfect person in mind for this when the time is right!!I hope you have enjoyed and been inspired!!

I'm a stay at home wife to my darling hubby of almost 19 years. I'm also a homeschooling Mum of 3 small, beautiful, delicious and often sticky children and a gorgeous and sweet pitbull named Katie.
I've always loved art, crafting and photography. I find time every single day to work one or all of these into the mere 24 hours that we have daily. I find it fulfills my soul, my mind and keeps my "zen" in check.
